jasonnieva March 25, 2026

The annual Guardian Games in-game event for Destiny 2 is finally here. It invites players to compete for Guardian class supremacy. The event runs from March 24 to April 14.

The limited-time Guardian Games event challenges everyone, from Titans to Hunters and even Warlocks. They'll need to collect medallions, complete activities, and compete for the top spot on the podium. For this year in particular, the remixed Rushdown mode is sure to bring excitement to all players. It offers randomized boss encounters and daily boss rotations to allow for replayable competition. It also comes with a full event reward track that includes a new shader, ship, emblem, Ghost Shell, and holofoil weapons.

There are also three Guardian Games-exclusive weapons available to earn during the event which are the Triple Laureate (Stasis Hand Cannon), The Beacon (Solar Fusion Rifle), and Keraunios (Arc Trace Rifle).

Rare Vanguard Orders

That's not all, Bungie announced in a statement that the Guardian Games is introducing a new event-focused Rare Vanguard Orders. This allows players to earn additional Bright Dust during the event, with repeatable bounties available throughout the competition.

Rare Vanguard Orders provides 50 Bright Dust per completion before the 1000 Bright Dust weekly threshold and 10 Bright Dust per completion thereafter. Bright Dust earned from Rare Vanguard Orders and other sources can be used to purchase Guardian Games-themed Legendary Armor Ornaments.

The studio also announced that there are new Eververse items available to purchase. These include:

  • Armor Ornament Sets (one per class)
